“How fucking dare you!”
She closes the gap fast, pushing her small hands against my hard abs with aggression blazing in her olive-green eyes, but her tiny frame can't budge my solid structure. I release a low chuckle before snatching her throat and slamming her against the side of a car before she could see it coming, treating her like nothing more than my little fucking toy.
I press my body against hers, and her chest heaves with each breath she takes as she elevates her chin in defiance, a stern look in her eyes. I reach up with my other hand, gently moving the curly strands of hair that has latched onto her thick eyelashes and my gaze scans her pretty features.
“You look fucking stunning.”
I feel her swallow beneath my palm around her throat and she frantically searches my eyes before her gaze drops to my mouth.
“Thank you, but will you let me go? I came here for a wedding.”
As I bring my lips to hers with a growl, hovering over them, she draws in a sharp breath, holding it and I bite on my words.
“Your eyes tell me you want me to kiss you, Char. Say it and I will kiss more than just your fucking lips. I’ll eat your fucking cunt.”
When I force my knee between her thighs, she locks them around it, a shudder running through her as she releases the breath she was holding.
“Reign please.”
Her voice carries a whisper of desperation, her heavy eyes closing as I graze my lips over hers and the connection shoots shivers up my fucking spine. I only intended to bring her outhere to talk, but her bratty attitude stirs something within me, igniting a desire to assert the authority I still hold over her.
“Have you missed my tongue licking the insides of your pussy, Swan?”
I call her by her birth name to test her, to gauge and see if it still affects her like it used to. To make sure she has defeated her darkness or if this is all an act before I become rougher with her. When her eyes gradually open to peer deep into mine, to my surprise, she bites her rosy bottom lip.
“It seems I have forgotten.”
Her beautiful green eyes twinkle mischievously, and I growl before plunging my tongue deep into her mouth. She welcomes it, hers colliding with mine, and we kiss with untamed desire, our strong connection buzzing through me. She clutches onto my white shirt, pulling me closer as I lose myself, devouring her mouth as if I am starving for her. When she suddenly pushes on my chest, I am seconds from eating her pussy out right here on a stranger's car hood; my cock is already fucking solid and straining against my pants, but I manage to tear myself away. She scans my eyes, but I can sense the rejection coming from a mile away.
“I can’t. We can’t. It has been too long. We would be going backward. Nothing good will come from this, Reign.”
With my arm above her, leaning against the car, my forehead rests against hers and I lower my gaze, my jaw tense as she continues.
“I came for the wedding and that is it.”
“You’ve moved on?”
When my eyes lift and look into hers, she shakes her head once.
“Not like that no.”
I scan her face as I give a wordless nod.
“Are you happy?”
Her gaze softens, a glimmer of tears pooling in her eyes as she whispers softly.
“Yes.”
My lips twitch into a small smile, relieved to hear her answer. I bring my hand to her cheek, the pad of my thumb tracing and dragging down her bottom lip. She leans into my palm, her eyes closed, savoring the moment of intimacy.
“That means the world to me, but I miss you, Char. Shit ain’t the same without you and Chaos. I am not going to lie to you.”
Her wet eyes open and she stares at me, her lower lip trembling.
“I miss you too, but—”
I lower my eyes again when she cuts off, but little does she know, she can tell me, all the “no’s” or “buts” she likes. Her stubborn ass will be staying with me tonight whether she fucking wants to or not. With a grunt, I push myself away from the car and without warning I walk away, leaving her stunned.
